You got most of the true information about this song and about Bobby. The cool thing about the live performance was the fact there were no "redo's". It was "one and done". One thing I don't see mentioned was the fact his mother was in the audience. This, combined with the fact Bobby had stage fright, really added to the performance. He wanted it to be perfect for his Mother. He nailed it. And as has been said, he hit that G4 (G5-?) note at the end, with ease. The studio release version was at a lower octave. This song is 56yrs old at the time of your review. It has and will withstand the test of time forever. Why? Because, "Class Never Goes Out Of Style". Let's see if Cardi B's "WAP" is still around 50yrs from now!

This live performance is the one the broke the mold for all time. How stupid it is associated with Ghost...now I've mentioned Ghost and need to go to take a shower lol....BTW you can analyze very well, and all you want to, but in the end, the look on your face says you finally caved and fell in love, lol 🤣. Alas poor Bobby died in 2003 , in Kalamazoo MI, in his hotel, while on tour with Bill Medley. That's only an hour from my house. He was 63. I still feel shocked about that to this day he was so close by considering the odds.

I assume when he did do his rehearsal it was before the show started and before anyone from the audience was there and probably rehearsals was for the stage crew as well so they would know where to place their cameras.

Yes he was a very gifted singer and I grew up just ten miles from where Bobby did. The Righteous Brothers also did another live performance of a well known song called "Never Walk Alone" on the Ed Sullivan show and at the end of that song Bobby hit a note so high that Bill's head involuntarily jerked away as if it hurt his ears. You of course don't have to do a reaction to the song if you don't want to but as a singer yourself you may want to go ahead and view that performance to further appreciate Bobby's talent.@@LisaGrandLand

Your explanation of what was going on during his performance delightful and informative. It gave me a better appreciation for the skill it took to do what he did. In the way of a side note, I heard that how they got their name was that while performing at a club where service men who were station at a nearby military base someone said " Wow, that's righteous brother" they heard it and they became The Righteous Brothers. Thank you for giving them some love and for being such a sweetie pie!

The 60's were about a time lost... of a growing up... a time of becoming aware of the ugliness of life crashing down on innocence. A time where the norm was not good enough. The music of that era was special because of songs and sounds like the Righteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield's version of this song will never be eclipsed by any other. It IS the gold standard and has a special place. I love people's reaction simply because they get lost in the melody...! Bobby's vocal treatment was so exceptional in that he was able to emotionally convey angst and longing and desire. No song has achieved that ever since. The song was used in the movie “Ghost”, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. As for influenced by black singers of the day... Motown was VERY Under-Appreciated... But was LOVED by way more than just the black population...! I loved a lot of songs that Motown produced.

No one sings like the Righteous Brothers. This girl is also fantastic. 伊卉儿Katty . She has the voice of an Angel. I just made a KZbin channel with her music and will keep adding great videos. Why not give her a reaction?

This is not a fact though, I have no way to check it but can pretty much guarantee that he put tons of work and effort into cultivating a skill like this. Saying that he did not have to train takes away from what he achieved. The greats like this start with a remarkable talent to begin with, then they also train harder than anyone else.

I can't speak about the background of the Righteous Brothers, but I do know Elvis Presley never had any external source training in his life; only self-trained, and was phenomenal. I don't believe Karen Carpenter had much, if any, training because most of her background (before becoming lead singer of The Carpenters) was becoming an expert on the drums, which was her passion. Yet, she was a vocal angel with in-born talent. Over the years, I have read the same about other legendary performers such as Paul Anka, Harry Belafonte, Jackie Wilson, Judith Durham, Hank Williams Sr., Ethel Waters, and others. I'm simply basing my comments on what I've read and researched. Sources can be faulty, but I believe there is much more "innate" talent than we realize, rather than "trained to do tricks" talent, in these performers of past eras.

I like your style girl, you explain more in a song/artist review than others. Keep it up, now subscribed. This era, my era had real talent and style without circus showmanship/
